We had a lot of freezing rain yesterday which caused an unexpected situation.
I couldn't open the hood to add washer fluid.
One if the benefits of owing an iMiEV which has no traditional hood is that the snow and freezing rain generally doesn't collect on the front windscreen.
So the freezing rain we got yesterday just slid down the windscreen, but it collected Around the headlights, and at the bottom part of hood.
It was sealed tight.
Popping the hood did nothing (I think the spring lacks sufficient force to pop the hood open).
I tried to bang the ice off, but I was afraid of damaging the vehicle.
Warm water finally worked, but it would have been tricky if I wasn't close to home.
